Ultra-Compact Horizontal Handhelds

The MIYOO A30 is a handheld gaming device designed to emulate classic games, offering a nostalgic experience in a modern, portable form factor. It features a 2.8-inch IPS display with a resolution of 640x480 pixels, providing clear visuals for gameplay. The device is powered by an Allwinner A33 chipset, which includes four ARM Cortex-A7 CPU cores and a Mali-400 MP2 GPU, capable of emulating up to Nintendo 64 and PlayStation games. The A30 comes with 512 MB of RAM and 16 GB of flash storage, expandable via a microSD card slot. Its 2,600 mAh battery is designed to offer extended playtime. Additionally, the A30 supports Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing for online features in games and system updates.

The MIYOO A30 is positioned as an affordable option in the retro handheld market. The device can be preordered from KeepRetro at a price of $55, or can be purchased from the Miyoo store on Aliexpress for $50, though stock will likely vary heavily on this storefront. The device will begin shipping in May. The A30’s design is reminiscent of the chocolate bar-shaped Miyoo Mini, differing from the latter’s vertical orientation and offering a more traditional handheld gaming experience.
